tors Allison and Edmunds and the opin-
IONS OF some members OF the House II
docs not seem probable that an extra
5, ssion will be necessity. But in
order 20 prevent it more progress must
lie made' in the appropriation mea-
spres than has been made to-day. III
al other arrangements fail some such
ection as was foreshadOwed by Mr..
Rogers. Of Arkansas, will be taken at
the last moment the appropriations
lor the present year will be extended.
On the other side OF the question Is
the express declaration q moment ago

Committee will not agree to the neces-
sary conferences that they have re-
fused 10 give up private dinners ana
other amuscmcnts TO attend TO the pub

sponsible for the delay. His statement

ether committees on whom have de-
,olvod some of the duties formerl Y dis
